Dexter Marries His Sister

NEW YORK (AP) — They play brother and sister on Dexter. Now in real life, Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter are husband and wife.

Hall's spokesman, Craig Bankey, said on Friday that the couple eloped in California on New Year's Eve. They'll walk the red carpet together at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday — the first time publicly acknowledging their relationship.

Hall, 37, and Carpenter, 29, just finished the third season of Dexter, the Showtime series in which Hall plays the murderous title character. They've been quietly dating for about a year and a half.

At their wedding, Carpenter's grandfather's wedding band was attached to her bouquet of white roses.
Didn't really see that one coming...

Re: Dexter Marries His Sister

Am i the only one that thinks this is a tad creepy?
iactually only have watched Dexter once, but i enjoyed it, once i finish up on six feet under (im mid way through season 2) i'll prob jump in. Michael C. Hall is a really great actor.

I do not think it's creepy, but I always thought he was gay.

Re: Dexter Marries His Sister

I thought he was married with kids, at least he was when he was on Six Feet Under. Did he leave his wife for her?

Re: Dexter Marries His Sister

I'm pretty sure they never had kids but they got divorced in 2006 I guess....
I agree,I think it's really creepy also....
They are just acting but I see them as brother & sister so that's weird....
Michael C. Hall is such a good actor....
I also thought he was gay when I watched Six Feet Under.... lol

Not creepy. But if it was the other way around and they were actually brother and sister and acting as married/dating, now THAT would be creepy.

Good for them. I'm a big fan of theirs and Dexter/Six Feet Under are two of my favourite shows.

Re: Dexter Marries His Sister

Dexter was adopted anyways -- so it's not creepy at all.

You make it sound like they are brother and sister in real life.

Adopted yes, but the series has revealed why it would be considered creepy to some.

I don't think it's creepy, perhaps odd in the way that Neil Patrick Harris playing a womanizer is odd.

That's what I thought too. But then again maybe I'm mixing him up with Eric McComack(Will & Grace). Obviously another straight guy who played a Gay Character for many years. I know he has a wife and kids.

Re: Dexter Marries His Sister

I knew that they were together for a while, so it is not surprising in that regard, but the timing is kinda odd.

Re: Dexter Marries His Sister

She has the body of a young girl, so maybe it is kinda creepy. She never grew any tits.

I saw this yesterday and it got a WTF from me, as well. Only because I didn't know they were going out.

I had no idea they were dating either. He could do way better.

I just started watching Dexter, and and from the way Jennifer was acting it seemed like she wanted to bone Dexter. Not sisterly at all.

News flash: Michael C. Hall is neither a serial killer nor a blood splatter expert either!
